1. Define an interface: You can use the interface keyword to define an interface. For example:
In Delphi, interface
a language feature used to define contracts and behavior between classes. Interfaces provide a specification for defining methods and properties without specifying a concrete implementation. Here are some basics about how to use interfaces in Delphi:
1. Define an interface: You can use interface
keywords to define an interface. For example:
type
IMyInterface = interface
procedure DoSomething;
function GetSomething: Integer;
end;
In the above code, an IMyInterface
interface named is defined, which contains the specification of DoSomething
methods and GetSomething
properties.
2. Implementing interfaces: A class can implement one or more interfaces. To implement an interface, you need to use the keyword in the class declaration implements
and provide the implementation of the method corresponding to the interface. For example:
type
TMyClass = class(TInterfacedObject, IMyInterface)
public
procedure DoSomething;
function GetSomething: Integer;
end;
procedure TMyClass.DoSomething;
begin
// 实现DoSomething方法的逻辑
end;
function TMyClass.GetSomething: Integer;
begin
// 实现GetSomething方法的逻辑,并返回一个整数值
end;
In the above code, TMyClass
the class implements IMyInterface
the interface and provides concrete implementations of DoSomething
the and methods.GetSomething
3. Use interface: You can access the methods and properties of the interface through variables or references of the interface type. Here is sample code:
var
MyObject: IMyInterface;
begin
MyObject := TMyClass.Create;
MyObject.DoSomething;
Result := MyObject.GetSomething;
MyObject := nil;
end;
In the above code, we TMyClass.Create
created an TMyClass
object and assigned it to MyObject
a variable whose type is IMyInterface
an interface. We can then use MyObject
the variable to call methods and properties defined in the interface.
By using interfaces, we can achieve loose coupling between classes and share behavior specifications between different classes. Interfaces can also be used to achieve polymorphism. By using interface references, specific implementation classes can be determined at runtime.
Please note that the interface in Delphi follows the principle of reference counting. When the interface instance is no longer used, it needs to be explicitly referenced nil
to release the memory. This is achieved by implementing IInterface
the interface and using it as a base class.TInterfacedObject
This is a brief introduction to using interfaces in Delphi. Interfaces are a powerful feature that can be used to implement many aspects of object-oriented design and programming, such as polymorphism, plug-in architecture, and more.
